#MSWL for the new year: found families, best friends who don't need to say anything to communicate, friends who live together because sometimes families are difficult.

Her other book, THE AGE OF MIRACLES, is similarly dazzling.This is top of the list for things I’d love to see in my inbox for ‘20: sci-fi that puts the SFF elements as the backdrop for telling stories about humanity. #MSWL
For instance...
TAOM is a teen coming-of-age story—but the Earth’s rotation is slowing. In THE DREAMERS, shifting family dynamics are painted on the canvas of a town quarantined bc of a sleeping sickness.
Kind of TWILIGHT ZONE? BLACK MIRROR? THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES?
Send me this please. #MSWL

I think my favorite read of 2019 (so far) was THE DREAMERS by @KThompsonWalker. The lyrical way she writes sci-fi makes her writing feel like a song, or a dream. I haven’t stopped thinking about this hypnotic book all year.What was your favorite book you read this year?

Send all the books my way. My end of year agent #MSWL includes literary fiction that is compulsively readable, stories that make me shed both sad & happy tears, suspenseful smart plots set in unexpected places, and characters that come of age in the glitz and glam of NYC. ❤️

WATCHMEN was as close to a perfect season as you can get. Aren't many of those. An astonishing accomplishment. I don't need more of it -- I hope if they choose to do more it is because of a vision that refuses to be contained to obscurity and demands to be made manifest.Good morning if you have "A vision that refuses to be contained to obscurity and demands to be made manifest" that's my #MSWL.

Im sorry but Bill Burr’s accent in star wars implies some sort of space BostonI don’t need any more Star Wars books but I have to say I’m intrigued by “space Boston” so #mswl
